THE BEnR1No SEA QUESTION.
The Claim NJ the United states 10 Ex.
elusive JurtsdIetion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-Adyices
from Sitka state that brief Is under
stood to have been prepared in Wash
ington and filed in the United States
Court at Sitka by A. A. Delaney,
counsel for the United States in the
latters claim OF exclusive dominion
over Behring's Sea. Delaney takes
the position that Behring Sea is not a
portion of the open or high sea, bu, is
an inland water cut off from the ocean
aud essentially land-I0cked. The as.
sertion that the U. D. uphoids the idea
of the three mile limit IN the Atlantic
Ocean and opposes the same idea in
The Pacific Is disguised Of by Delaney
as foll0ws:
Concerning the doctrine of inter-
nati0nni law, establishing what is
known rs the marine league belt,
which extends tile jurisdiction of n
nation into the adjaccht seas for the
distance at One marine league Ur three
miles from Its shores, and following
all Tie inhentations and sinuositics of
its coast, there Is at this day no room
for discussion. Ii must be accepted
us the settled Law of NATIONS. Ii is
sustained by the highest authority,
law writers and jurisis. 1t has been
sanctioned by the United States since
the founding of the Government.
Well grounded as is this doctrine of
the law OF nations, IL IS no more firm y
established AS a part of the interna-
tional code than tie other principle,
which gives To nation a supremacy,
Jurisdiction and dominion over its in.
land waters, gul.s, bays ana seas. If
n sea is entirely enclosed by the terri
tories of nation aud has no other
communication with the ocean than
by u channel of which that nation may
take possession. IT appears that such
sea Is no less capable OF being occu-
pied aud becoming property than the
land, and il ought to fellow the fate
of the country that surrounds IL. The
Mediterranean IN former times WAS
absolutely incloscd within the terri
tories of tAe Romans, and that people.
by rendering themselves masters ot
tile strait which joins it to the ocean,
might subject the Mediterranean to
their empire and assume the dominion
over H. They aid not 10y such pre-
ceedings injure the rights ot other na-
tions ia particular, a particular sea
bsing manifestly designed 10y nature
for the use of the countries aud nations
that surround it,
DcIany then makes numerous refer
enees To prove that Russia always
asserted that Behring Sea was IN in
land water, and that the United States
has always maintained that position
since she acquired title. The brief
then goes on 10 state how Russias
title WAS based on discovery and set
tIementn and how the United States
acquired its title by treaty between it
and Russia.

erect pyramids 1000 times higher than

into any object which they attack,
often reducing it to u mere shell. In
this way they have been known to as

the contents of box upon it, and de-
scend through tunnel bored IN an
other leg, all in one night. An officer

his career had been q checkered one
ever since the death of his father a

cans of this state and on the ground
o his natural intelligence and excel,

the lamented Hendricks the "Books

had to leave instanter. No doubt,
upon full investigation the accounts
of several other Republican depart
ment officials would be found in o simi-
lar condition. Harvey's democratic
successor is Austin Ii. Brown, and
we venture the opinion that be is an
honest man.

GRAND ARMY REPUBLIC posts al
ways were considered non-political
organizations and that is one of the
reasons why the order prospered and
met with success in all their UNDER
takings. Late developments however
threaten to put the grand army in
different light, unless the members of
the order resent the unwise and ridic-
ulous behavior of few of their lead
ers whose mean partisan spirit gets
the better of them. The quicker the
G. A. r.. puts such men as Fairchild
and Tuttle in the shade the better for
the order. They and their hangers
on have done lots of mischief already
by their unjust and unreasonable at
tacks upon President Cleveland. Ever
since the president vetoed the so-called
"pauper pension BILL" vetoe which
commanded the approval of every
right-thinking American citizen, sew
eral of the political place hunters, who
unfortunately belong to the G. A. L.
order are antagonistic and the recent
unpleasantness about Cleveland's in
vitation to attend the st. Louis en-
campment is nothing more or less
than the result OF their brawling.
Cleveland with his usual good judge
ment and sense of right firmly declines
the invitation which came from the
citizens of st. Louis, and in q letter
to the mayor of that city states his
reasons in a manly and noble manner.
He expresses his regret at the un-
friendly feeling which some of the G.
A. X. posts foster against him on ac-
count of an official act which his sense
of duty and justice dictated him to
do, and which he is not afraid to lay
bare to the scrutiny of any soldier.
He does not fear the threatened in
suits in case he would attend the en-
campment, but he will not consent to
have his presence there prove an OBJ
stacle to the general success of the en-
campment. His letter is a note
worthy document and will make

The trial Of this man Wenrich for
the killing of DR.. Waeonseller occurred
in Middleburg, Snyder county, .about
tifteen years ago. 1t excited great in

Wagonsell3r secured the professional
services of 4. J. Herr, OF the Dauphin
county Bar. The defendant retained IL
long array Of eminent counsel, among
them being Hon. Andrew Dill, Lmn
aud Zeigler. Judge Bucher presided
in court. The trial occupied several
days and nights, ending in the conyic-
tiOn OF Wenrich for murder In tie
second degree. 1t Was a cq,Se cGlebre.
and the tradition of many of the excii-
ing events attending 1t are still vivid
among the people. One Of the most
affecting scenes was when the counsel
for Wenrich placed at his side a young
and beautiful girl 10 whom he was en-
gagged to he married, and his counsel
made pathetic appeal for mercy for
the prisoner on account Of this Blade

and spectators were deeply affected,
and it looked as il sympathy would

But Mr. Herr, in most powerful al
dress that awed and thrilled every one
who heard il, as he depicted the awful
crime of murder, the desolate home Of
the dead man and his agony H. the ter
rible death he suffered. soon turned the
sympathy from the living 10 the dead

seemed hopeless. This the last crime
